6 month old Canon Power shot S5IS flip out LCD screen will not keep connection, the screen goes blank and can not be used. I primarily use this feature to take my shots. When I opened the screen to take my shot I notice I had to move it around and the screen came on. Now it will not come on no matter how I move the screen, up, down, right left, twisted into the body. It does not work. Looking at the body of my camera the screen is not loose, nothing looks abnormal from the outward appearan

Lens problems I am deployed and I sent my camera to my wife and she has managed to
brake it, I was hoping to get some help on this problem: When off, the
camera lens is in the position as if it were being used. When turning
the Canon Camera Powershot A530 on, the Canon logo screen comes on as
it should. Following the blue logo screen is 2-3 rapid beeps made by
the camera and a black screen is shown with the words, "Lens error,
restart camera". Immediately after showing this screen for five

When I connect my camera (Canon PowerShot SX30 IS) it is acknowledged by my computer. However, when the screen comes up asking me to "Select the Program ..." the box for choices is blank. Any suggestions? I am using Windows XP.

After using my Finepix x700 for a couple of years to download photos onto my computer, for some reason I cannot now do so. Two weeks ago at a friends, I tried to connect her usb port to my camera to download photos on her computer but it came up with the message incorrect usb. On coming home and connecting my usb port as usual, the camera gave a message on the camera screen which said ''usb'' and then lit up in green ''pc camera'' and the usual instructions for downloading did not come up on my

Can't download pictures from my Canon Ixus 80 IS camera via USB cable. It appears to connect but there is no software options in the window and only option is to cancel.

Lens errors are fairly common. Usually it's sand or grit interfering with the lens extension mechanism. Or the camera's been dropped with the lens extended. Or the camera has been powered on, but the lens had been blocked preventing its extension. Or ...

E18 my canon powershot A150, got the whole E18 problem, it turns on with the blue canon screen, but then two seconds after it turns into a faded black with E18 in the bottom left hand corner. i seriously dont know whats wrong, and it hasnt even been a year since i got the camera, is there any way i can fix this problem? because at the moment buying a camera, my parents would not be too pleased :|
it turns on with blue screen then it goes black and it says e18

E18 is the canon fault number for lens error. Is the lens stuck out? does it click when the camera is switched on? Try lightly tapping the lens on a hard surface. This sometimes resets the lens. If all this fails take it to bits! (but watch the flash ...

Downloading images When i connected my 900ti to my PC i used to get a list of options on my camera, one of which was download new images. When i connect now, I don't get anything on my camera screen. I want to download my images in folders by date, but using the wizard the only way I can do it is to download all images into one huge file. How can I get my images onto my PC with the date attached to each one? Thanks a lot Caroline

I don't have this model of Camera, but I think you should be using the same Canon software. Try going to your PC, go to Programs and going to the Canon Utilities folder. You will see a CAMERA WINDOW folder that has another CAMERA WINDOW folder that ...

EOS 400D Good day, I bought a Canon EOS 400D Xmas last year and a Canon colour printer to match.
I used my Camera some weeks ago and after removing the card I entered it into my printer must have been able to fit it in wrong way because it damaged the pins in the printer not knowing why it was not reading my I removed the card re entered it into the camera and try to connect via the cable but the card was damaged and now damaged the pins in the camera. So I took my printer to be repaired and wa

Uploading pictures whenever i go to hook up my camera to the computer it comes up saying connecting to pictbridge device then a minute later says enable printer to connect and underneath says switch on menu then i do that and all it does is come up with usb connect......do i need to change it from pictbridge to ptp or mass storage or what? i dont know what just happened..its worked fine for me every other time

Mass storage is easier, in my opinion. In that mode, when you hook the camera up to the computer, it will show up as a device in My Computer. Then you can just access your pictures there. ...

Canon powershot sd780 is/ixus100 is digital camera, every sd card that is used comes up as card locked on the screen of the camera and camera cannot be used.

Hi i just bought a canon eos rebel from someone online and it has a 28-80 lens. I try to use it and i noticed the focus is very loose, is that normal? I dont know alot about cameras but i have used manual cameras before and i have never used one with such a loose focus. And also would i lose slight focus if its like that when i go and take a picture?

Your camera is primarily an autofocus model: manual focussing is very much a secondary feature and is always very free moving. If it were any other way then it would cause the AF motor to work much harder and dramatically shorten the battery life. ...

Canon powershot SD780 is camera. Camera shows the canon screen then turns black and beeps three times then says "lens error restart camera". I don't know how to restart...i need to use it I'm on a trip What do I do?

There's really no way to restart it if there's a physical problem with the lens. Try to power it on again but if that doesn't reset it, the camera needs to be serviced. A great site for help with these is: camerasandparts.com They just specialize in ...

I own a Canon power shot SD790 IS and I've been using wonderfully for the past few months Last weekend when I turned on my camera to view some pics I noticed a little blue screen on the corner of my camera in when I take pictures and upload them to the camera the blue spot doesn't show up on the pictures thank God but it's on my LCD screen and it seems internal I don't know if it's dead pixel or a lens problem can this be fixed at home please help I can't send it back because I ordered it online

It seems to be a dead pixel, best thing would be to have it replaced from the Seller, else you can get it replaced with a new working lcd panel. This may be an expensive solution.Check whether you have a worldwide warranty from Canon, that will help ...

Photos can't be downloaded to iphoto as per usual. Instead only print option is offered on the camera screen. Can't get it to offer any other option. Once, iphoto used to open automatically once you connected the usb cable between camera and laptop. That stopped happening some time ago but pix could still be transferred by selecting iphoto manually.

When I try and connect my camera to computer using the usb cable it shows a screen which says 'usb mode connecting.... Switch on [menu]. I go to menu and have 3 options auto mass storage and pictbridge. I have tried all of these options but no joy. Most strange as problem has only just started and have downloaded loads of photos previously.

What did your PC screen say? It is the PC that does the file transfer not the camera. If you use a Window XP OS, a window on the PC screen should pop up and ask you what you want to do. If you don't see that (plug and unplug the USB cable again and/o ...
